    It’s a cold day in H E double hockey sticks

    January 7, 2015 - By 

    Is that just a Minnesota thing?  I’d have to assume the H E double hockey sticks part of it anyway.  But it IS cold today. So cold, they closed school.  I haven’t been out of the house since Saturday when I stocked up at the grocery store.

    I’ve been crafting, cleaning and reading.

    I completed the last pages in my journal which happened to be the last page of the book and the first.art journal

    I didn’t plan it that way…it just happened.  All that’s left is to remove the library plastic and alter the covers.

    I’m also working on completing my 2014 art calendar project. Here’s a little sneak peek.

    And I couldn’t leave you today without showing my reinbeers…

    a gift of reinbeersI made them for my neighbor whose b-day happens to be New Year’s Eve.  This is a crummy photo but I snapped it quick before we left. He told me they were too cute to drink.

    T Tuesday: art journal edition

    December 30, 2014 - By 

    I’m linking up once again with Elizabeth for T stands for Tuesday.

    Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. We did and everyone stayed healthy…hooray! I was worried with all the influenza and viruses around leading up to the holiday break. 20141229_7383

    I feel like I’m finally back in a creative place mentally so it was so cool that this was the tag on my Yogi tea bag today. “A relaxed mind is a creative mind.”

    I find that I’m drawn to my art zone…now if I could get myself to organize it, I’d be set!

    I’m continuing to plug away at the last few pages in my journal.20141229_7381

    Playing with texture and bold color on these pages.

    These pages had a more subdued feel…pastel like. Makes me think of Easter.

    The words hadn’t dried completely before I closed the book. Make a  joyful noise!!! got smudged.  Darn pigment ink.

    Well, we’ve got a birthday to celebrate today… Mini-me turns 12!! She’s getting so grown up! She is having a friend sleepover so I’m sure there will be a couple tired girls tomorrow…yikes.

    What are you doing today??
